07/04/2006: "Circumstances Can Be Cruel"

The last three World Cup matches of the weekend seem to represent how I feel as the long weekend comes to a close. After what could have been a brilliant week, slowly fizzled out and now I have a three-day work week ahead of me. I'll recap the the week over the next few days as it was pretty exciting there for a moment (Superman Returns, Cat Power, my friend's short film screening, and Inbetween Days at the LA Film Festival).

I always empathize with the losing team. Sadly, it's my opinion (and the opinion of many others, I believe) that these teams really brought their brightest hopes to the games, only to see them dashed because they simply did not play as well as they could have played.
